Here are some eco-friendly tips for turkey day.
1. Have your entire feast organic and all grown less than 100 miles away. Yes, start looking for local cranberries today. No, I am kidding. I don't think any of us have the budget or the time to do this. Go green, don't go nuts.
2. Use real plates, glasses, utensils, and napkins.
3. Eliminate meat wherever possible. Do you really need sausage in the stuffing? Is meat really a side dish?
4. Make sure you recycle and compost when cleaning up.
5. Every 2 hours, make a run around the house turning off lights, tv's, etc in empty rooms.
6. Consider your decorations. No styrofoam items. Use things that can be used year after year or find your inner-Martha and make something festive from the backyard.
7. Remember to carpool.
I am going to try my hardest to do all of the above, but I have no control over my meal this year. The good news is that we will be taking the train all over Philly, Jersey, and Manhattan, no cars.
Go green, don't go nuts.

I have decided on a couple of things for Turkey day and you will be really proud these things should be very green.
1.) daniel will be the centerpeice (no wait he will not be there he will be with his girlfriend)
2.) I am going to tell larry not to use sausage in the stuffing (however i may not be alive after i tell him that and then you will have to leave nyc and come to p town for my funeral)
3.)i am going to turn the heat off upstairs so we will not use any energy (until paul comes home drunk and turns it on to 80 because he is an idiot)
seems like on turkey day if there is any greenness in me i will have to keep it a secret because the stovesands to not comply
